This is the first I have heard Of the mat
Ter. and I do not bellows that there Ia q word Of
truth in It." These words were spoken by a
member OF the Brooklyn Jockey Club who
keeps posted on all turf projects OF the day
and has close business relations with the
Dwye Brothers In things pertaining to race
courses. The matter referred to was a despatch
in yesterdays World, from Trenton. announcing
that the DIVERS, A, J. Cassatt, and Leonard
W. Jerome. with others. had definitely agreed
TO purchase the Fashion Stud Farm OF 365
acres. belonging to Henry ]. Smith, and To-
Gated near the capital Of New Jersey. for
$500 900. 1t was further stated that q straight
mile track. In addition to the mile trottinG
track now on the land. would be prepared for
the racing Of thoroughbreds. and that all would
probably be In readiness for q proposed open
Ing meeting next May. 1t was likewise init
mated that thenew course would be q formida-
BILE rival to Monmouth Park.
Remembering that Mr.. Cassatt Is President
Of the Monmouth Park Racing Association.
that Mr.. Philip Dwyer Is President OF the
Brooklyn Jockey Club. and that Mr.. Jerome 10
President OF tho Coney Island Jockey Club, .
Sun reporter started out to discover whether
there was any truth whatever in the report
that these gentlemen were engaged In building
up a rival to the great associations OF which
they were the acknowledged heads.
As the Brooklyn spring meeting will take
place in May. and might possibly conflict with
the proposed Trenton meeting, tho Brooklyn
Jockey Club was tho first place visited. with
the result noted above. Mr.. Michael Dwyer Is
with his family in Europe. and Philip Dwysr
was out OF town.
Nothing was known about the project at the
Coney Island Jockey Club. Mr.. Leonard w.
Jerome. the President, had just sailed for Eu-
rope, and his brother Lawrence had not
heard anything in relation to the matter.
Mr.. Cassatt has been abroad for months, and
will pass the winter in Europe. The Secretary
Of the Monmouth Association said that there
was no truth whatever In the report 30 far as
